May your troubles be less, Your blessings be more, And nothing but happiness Come through your door. -Unknown

We had a very uneventful New Year's Eve. In bed well before midnight. Today I have spent most of the day stitching (between your typical household chores). I finished my first piece for the year. Actually, I planned it that way. I've been working on a square for CSFC (Cross Stitch For Charity) and knew I wouldn't get it done before the year ended. So I pushed on thru and finished it today. I also made a start on LHN's The Library. The SAL for this piece began today.

Now, back to the lists. I spent a bit of time going through what's been started and what's been kitted up as well as some committments I've made. Here are some well thought out goals for my new year:

I will not purchase any quilting patterns.I will not purchase any quilting fabric but minimal that is needed to complete a current project.

Barb, good luck with your resolutions. I have the same to exercise more and drink more water (blah!) I hate water too; it actually gives me indigestion but I'm gonna try.Your SAL's look like fun and I'm also doing the LHN ornament and Brooke's ABC SAL....these will be fun!

About Me

Hi, I'm Barb and I love to Cross Stitch and Quilt. I thought retirement would give me more time to persue my crafting interests, but I'm always so busy still! I belong to several on-line groups for the above crafts and do mostly charity work now. Soooo... welcome to my room!
